Haptic feedback isn't something you would need.

For proper 'failsafe' brakes like a Lorry or train, you need brakes that are held fully on and the mechanism pulls them off when its powered up. Pulling the lever then shuts the mechanism off and allows the spring to put on the brakes. That way if the battery mechanism fails the brakes come on.

Technicaly they are hydraulic brakes with additional crap and you gonna struggle to make that additinal crap smaller. I have hard time believing, that anyone would preffer bulky calipers over two hoses. While I was wrong plenty of times in the past, most probably wireless brakes would have to have some advantage over hydraulics to caught on. For that you'd need to outengineer that hydraulic calipers, which honestly I don't think can be done with current tech. Hydraulics: + work without batteries + don't need to be paired + self adjust for pad wear - hoses Your wireless construction (even after refinment, if the priciple ramain the same): + no hoses - always heavier that equivalent hosed version - additional failure points

This has been bouncing around my head for years. Flying/driving RC, riding MTB but never put the two together. Well done Blake, stick with it mate. High end transmitter (TX) with dual rates, exponential and end points. Different braking "modes" for different trail types could be setup, expo S curves for sensitivity/modulation and back/front bias, adjustable bite point, fail safe settings in the event of signal loss or low voltage ... TX programming will blow your mind. Low latency wifi servos (no servo wires required to RX) with control arms (titanium turnbuckles from helis or cars) on ball links instead of cable, short servo arms for maximum mechanical advantage ... Blake's E-Brake Mk2 could shine. Add proggressive springs to levers to get that feedback feel.

What are cables but braided steel wires? What are smaller wires for electronics, braided wires? So you're not going too far away....I was sitting around thinking last night, bc that's part of the design process. I put the bike in front of me and I'm looking at multiple areas and ideas simultaneously. While away from the bike, ideas come to mind, but when looking at the physical, practicality is a strong guide in reality...For instance, where I like electronics in one area, and the Industry is pushing it out which is icing here, is a front mech. (and a gear hub with an idler pulley/clutch takes care of a whole lot back there; also think E-bike) My cable comes out of an open down tube, around a plastic thingy, to the backside of the seat tube. An E-mech is the obvious winner here. Changing the swing arm position to the side, with the "box" in front of the seat tube, blimey! Now I can go 2.5" in the back, and boost the fork. Wait 'till you hear about the tandem. No, I'll keep that for the AT.

I wouldn’t worry about batteries dying or loosing wireless connection but the servo would realistically need to be built in to the calliper along with the wireless tech, that’ll make callipers bulky, heavy and expensive (not to mention the levers) and there isn’t exactly a lot of room between the hubs/frame etc. I think we’re still a long way off from wireless brakes considering how good the current stuff is already. Maybe callipers integrated in to the frame/fork although this all just adds weight. Hydraulic hoses are pretty much bomb-proof and can be bent around sharp corners/tucked away if they bother people so much. I’d be keen to see you perform an emergency stop on the set up you have there if possible ?? Those TRP callipers are terrible and are only fitted by manufactures to save costs on not having to fit hydraulic levers.

Pretty cool, for the soulless levers, perhaps you might want to consider the tech and processing brain in a PC/Console gaming steering wheel and pedal set up for a racing sim, the actuators there communicate resistance simulating the hydraulic feel, might boost the cost to produce, but would certainly give a little soul to those levers, there may be off the shelf parts available somewhere for other products, I don't know, the idea just came to mind as I was listening to you guys. :) Winning!!!

I absolute Love Eletric Shifting and my Dropper Post. Easy to Setup and switch between Bikes. I'm interested in electric Brakes, i would trust the Transmission in general. My AXS Connection works perfectly. The only Way to fix an Transmission Lost/Battery Issue would for me be. 1. When moving Connection Lost - only Rear brake slowly, but not complete and hard like in Blakes Prototype So you can still rolling to the Car/Home If the Batterie dies and you cant ride. Front Brake and Rear Brake must be an complete System, that when the Front Brake lost the Connection/Power the Rear Brake brings the Bike to a slowly Stop. 2. When the Bike stands (before riding) Is the Batterie below 33% Power, the rear Brake would close the Calipers and you can't start Riding. The Brakes have a Timeline from 1 - 1,5 hours who you can "Park" the Bike and the Brakes are not complete shutted down, so If you have a Lunch/Coffee/Pause you can start riding again If the Batterie at 28% for example. I think it is a long Way to develope eletric Brakes, but i would ride them :D

But in Reality!!! There is no Point in electric Brakes. Hydraulik Brakes works super good in General. When you want a Clean Cockpit. There a few alternatives that work. I only wished for the Brakehoes in general came in another Angle, maybe direct under the Handelbar or so

I could make this but it’s pretty dangerous,how about hydrolic breaks that read user input and modulate how much fluid can pass through making the lever feel customisable and more modular

Cables stretch or housings deform? I'm not ready for reliability of wireless brakes.....glad to let everyone else test that!

and what exactly would be the benefit of this? presumably takes up more space? is heavier?
